Thermoforming perspex

Category Thermoforming   Project Description A doubly curved form was required for a motor boat windscreen. We used our infrared heating panel to bring the 6mm perspex sheet to temperature and formed the panel. The image shows the panel on the mould after cooling and the laser-projected shape of the final product.  [...]

Hand lamination

Category Hand lamination   Project Description A "peak and trough" form was generated using our CAD software and sent to the the adaptive mould. After the mould configured itself to the required shape, Parabeam 3D textile was placed on the mould and the layup was hand laminated with polyester resin.   [...]

Technical Feasibility Demonstrated

Curve Works demonstrated that making composite panels on reconfigurable tooling is technically feasible. Curve Works manufactured in February GFRP sample panels at  ADAPA. The experience was what we hoped for and we have showcased that manufacturing curved composite panels can be done fast & efficiently. We have demonstrated this for flat laminates, stiffened panels & sandwich [...]
